DONGHAE'S POV:
A soft chuckle escaped from my lips as I witnessed how the girl badmouthed the guy who was trying to hit on her.
Jessica Jung, the school's most popular girl, not only because of her undeniably perfect physical appearance but also her intimidating behavior.
I had never seen her with anyone neither boyfriend nor friends. Although everyone would throw their selves just to be with her, she still chose to be alone and that is because she prefers to.
Shot a glance at her and she'll glare at you. Talk to her and she'll turn you down. Try to hit on her and she'll surely embarrass you. Just enough reason to leave her alone, right? But they would never do that since the school has started making bets that whoever can break the ice that Jessica had yielded for herself from everyone is getting a million dollars.
Pretty much enticing that I've once thought of trying to join but I just erased it since I do not want to be cursed or something.
"Hey Donghae."
I woke up from my reverie when I heard Siwon called me. I lifted my head to look at him."What?"
"Did you just see that?" Siwon asked with a wide grin playing on his lips.
I slowly nodded, fully aware of what he was talking about."I suggest they should stop that betting. We all know that no one can win the prize."
"So you're saying you can't as well?"
"It's not that--"
"You, the almighty Lee Donghae who was known as the ultimate playboy can't get that sexy hot girl Jessica? Oh come on! I've always thought you're not just interested at the prize that you're not even making a move but now, after hearing your words, I can say that I'm wrong."
"Yah! I'm really not interested at the prize!" I retorted.
Which is a lie. I want the prize, I really do but....I'm afraid of rejection. I don't want to be rejected knowing that it will be a big step on my pride.
Siwon then narrowed his eyes, scaring the hell out of me.
"Then go and make a move. Get her, Donghae. Make her yours. Forget about the prize if you're really not interested to it. I'm challenging you as a man."
I blinked my eyes.
What the hell is he saying?
"I'm not going to fall for that, Choi Siwon. I don't care--"
"You're just afraid to be rejected. Come on, Donghae! Be a man! If you can't get her, then I don't think your title 'ultimate playboy' suits you anymore."
And that caught me off guard.
I let out a heavy sigh before directly looking at him."Fine! Just talking to her is not that easy, you know that. So give me at least two to three months."
"But for a heartthrob like you, making a simple conversation with her shouldn't be a hard task."
I scrunched my eyebrows, anxiously."Okay! A month."
Siwon then flashed a victorious smile."30 days it is."

DAY 1:
I looked over my shoulders to glance at the solo girl at the back of our classroom. She had her head buried on the desk of her chair, probably sleeping while earphones were stuck on her ears.
I shook my head. Jessica is definitely not my ideal type although I would admit that I could sometimes caught myself drooling over her pretty face and sexy figure; she's still not the kind of a girl I would marry.
